Narrator's POV

Gonta, Angie, Rantaro, Shuichi, Kokichi, Tsumugi, Kaito, Tenko and Kiibo remained in the academy.
This is fine, Shuichi repeatedly believed.

8 out of 16, half is gone. Completely perished from existence. Just like a tiny petal flying through the wind.
This sucks. This truly sucks.
What's the happiness of living here, in this hπllhole?
I should die, he thought.

Someway, somehow, I need to vanish in front of this awful world.
Though, his little friend, Kaito stopped his impressions.

"What are you doing, Shuichi?"

"W...what?"
"What are you thinking about?! Why the long face, bro!"

"What are you s-saying...Maki died too."
"Y-yea, I know that! That doesn't mean you shouldn't let her rest in peace, she wants us to smile, y'know!" Kaito bumped his fists harshly.

"..." Saihara looked at him with a blank expression, he didn't understand anything he said.
"You don't get it yet, bro? It's simple, just smile and move o-"

"Shut up, goatee man!"
His voice echoed the whole trial court.
"S-Shumai, don't listen to h-him! He's deceiving you again with those stupid 'motivational' quotes he got from Instagram!"

"No one asked for your opinion, degenerate."
Angie closed her eyes and replies back.
"Why are you so mad about it~...I thought you enjoyed all this pain we're going through~!"

"URGH-Yea, you're right, heheh. I am enjoying this."
Kokichi clenched his left arm.

~Night time~
Hello, it is officially nighttime. Will you sleep peacefully like a baby or sleep with the fishes?! Puhuhuhuhu~

Succi's bedroom.
Shuichi laid down on a T-pose in the middle of his mattress.
He was speculating his way of ending this game; after all, that's what he has written on the school grass.
"I will end this game, Shuichi Saihara."

Maybe he can't end it by joining in.
Maybe he has to leave the game.
Wouldn't it be considerable?

Something odd buzzes from his night table., his tablet.

He took it with his weak hands.
"Oh." Kokichi messaged him.

Hiiii :)

Hey, Kokichi.

What's the matter, you seem sad :(

No, I'm not.
There's no reason for me to be sad.

Alright, I trust you, 'kay?

I want to talk to you, do you mind?
I promise I'm not wasting your time
🙏🙏🙏💙

What is it about?...

It's a secret ~'ll tell you if you let me in your dorm:• 👉👈

Can't you lockpick...
Yeah but I don't wanna invade my beloved's privacy!

You've done that many times.
If it's something important then fine just please hurry up, I'm not feeling well.

Okie Dokie! 👌❤

Kichi entered his darling's room, very happy to see him. He was too, he just seemed tired.
-Uhmmmm~ thanks for letting me in! Thought I had to break in again, haha.

-Y-you're welcome...
He lightly blushed.

-So...do you like this place?
He asked a bit shyly.
-O-of course not, who would...

-Great, and you crave to leave this h#llhoke, right~?
-Mhm. Saihara nodded.

-Then, I have an idea...
Kokichi held Shuichi's hands and came closer.
"You may- or may not like this but...
Do you want to die with me?... You know, no one could stop us and we would be free from here."

Shuichi nodded which incredibly shocked his mate; he smiled but got worried.
"A-are you sure? You don't have to."
"Y...yea. I'm sure."

-Oh-wow. So, that's great. What and when?
-I d-don't know, maybe next day, like when there is a new motive; the others w-would think we died from it and n-nothing more.

-I got some Electro-bombs and I found a hydraulic press in a restricted area, should we use it?
-H-how though?

-Eh, you'll see. He gleamed.
After that quick discussion, Kichi kissed his forehead and told him to meet him on the fourth floor tomorrow.
